COFFEE

How fresh is the coffee I order?

Your coffee is roasted specifically for you by the small-batch roaster listed on the coffee when you place your order. Once your order has been received and listed as 'processing', the roaster begins the roasting process. Your coffee is freshly roasted, degassed, bagged and shipped directly to you from BrewSouth within 48-72 hours of ordering.back to top

What size bags can I purchase?

All of the custom roasted coffee we receive from each roaster is sealed by the roaster in 12oz bags containing your choice of whole bean or ground coffee. back to top

Do I need a special kind of coffee maker or machine?

You can use absolutely any kind of coffee maker, brewer, or machine to make your coffee. Whether your favorite is a french press, pour over, espresso machine or that old relic of a coffee maker you keep in the garage, it's totally up to you. It's really the size of the cup that matters!

How should I store my coffee and how long will it stay fresh?

For optimal freshness we suggest storing your coffee purchased from BrewSouth in an airtight container or in the original coffee bag which are designed with a one-way degassing valve. Stored correctly, you can extend a coffee bean's shelf life for up to a year.back to top

GIFTS

Does BrewSouth offer Gift Cards?

We offer gift cards with designs for most occasions. Sending a gift card is as easy as choosing the gift card design from our gift card category, choosing the amount you wish to send, entering your name, the recipient's name, your email address and their email address, plus a personal message. Our system will then create a virtual gift card in the amount you specified and create an email containing the gift card, the amount, where and how to redeem it at BrewSouth along with your personal message. Gift cards never expire and can be used partially while keeping a remaining balance or all at once for the full amount.back to top

Can I send coffee as a gift?

Absolutely. Simply add the coffee you wish to send as a gift to your cart and upon checkout after entering your payment's billing address, choose 'Ship to a different address'. Check both 'Is this a gift' and 'Gift entire order'. You will then be presented with a FROM and TO box along with the option of including a personal message which appears on the packing slip (prices never appear on the packing slip).
